INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 




ANY years ago the subject of ancestry began to 
attract attention. The compiler of these records 
became interested in it along his Travis line, dur- 
ing: a long- illness. He had known some of his 
relatives bearing the name of Travis, brothers and sisters of 
his mother's mother, but all, with one exception, had passed 
off the stage ere this inquiry began ; so but very little infor- 
mation could be had from the immediate family as to their 
ancestors, beyond their uncles and aunts. 

By much patient research and travel, extending over eigh- 
teen years, and a large expenditure of money, the results here 
recorded have been gained, and gratification is had in tracing 
the line unbroken from Henry Travers who arrived from Lon- 
don, England, in the Ship " Mary and John " at Agawam, now 
Ipswich, in 1634, down to the present time, and to find repre- 
sentatives of the family showing their love of country in every 
emergency requiring patriotic service, from King Philip's war 
to the war of the Rebellion. The descendants of Henry 
Travers have thus had part and parcel in the development of 
our beloved New England, from its infancy. 

James Travis, born in Newbury, Mass., in 1645, the only 
son of Henry Travers, was one of the early settlers of Brook- 
field, Mass., in 1668, and a petitioner for its incorporation 
"Oct y e 10 1673." He probably left Brookfield with his 



4 INTR OD UC'l VR Y NO TE. 

family before the Indian troubles there culminated, but no 
record has been found to show where his family went, nor 
of his or their return to Brookfield. 

Later his children were in Framingham and Sherborn, and 
later still his descendants were in Holliston, Natick, Sudbury, 
Waltham and Weston, in Massachusetts. One branch located 
in Deering, N. H., and their descendants in that State are 
numerous. The name is now well represented in Natick, 
Framingham, and adjoining towns in Massachusetts, and com- 
mands respect. 

To the painstaking labor of Mr. Henry A. May, a genealo- 
gist of experience, I am much indebted for results attained.

HENRY TRAVERS 

AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 



TRAVERS — D'ESTRIVERS— TRAVERSE — TRAVIS. 



ENGLISH NOTES. 



^^^^^RAVERS, from Trevieres between Bayeux 
and Caen, Normandy. The name con- 
tinued in Normandy, where Ranulph de 
Clinchamp, after 1138, assumed the name 
of Travers. 

In the time of the Conqueror, Robert de Travers or 
d'Estrivers, Baron of Burgh-upon-Sands, married the 
daughter of Ranulph de Meschines, Lord of Cumber- 
land, and sister of Ranulph Bricasard, who succeeded 
his cousin Richard d'Abrincis, as Earl of Chester, in 
1 1 19. 

He received in fee from his father-in-law the office 
of Hereditary Forester of Inglewood, which passed 
through his only child Ibria to Ralph de Engayne, and 



6 HENRY TEA VERS 

from the Engaynes to the Morvilles, who transmitted 
it to the Multons and Dacres. 

The badge of this office, the jagged branch, is over 
and over introduced in the Chapel of Naworth Castle, 
which is so rich with arms and cognizances. 

o 

(Hist, of Battle Abbey Roll, Vol. Ill, pages 203-4.) 

' The forestership of Inglewood was so honorable 
and grand, so great a command, there is no wonder 
that the family should hold its claim as perfect." 

(Hutchinson's Cumberland.) 

Robert d'Estrivers bore " Argent, three bears sable ; " 
and it is believed first used the "jagged branch" as 
his badge. 

There remain in Dacre churchyard the figures of four 
bears, about five feet high, sitting on their haunches, 
and clasping a rude pillar, or a ragged staff, on which 
two of the animals rest their heads. The other two 
carry on their backs the figure of a lynx, one in the 
attitude of attempting to rid himself of the animal on 
his shoulders, with his head twisted, and a paw cast 
behind him. 

The name of Travers appears in " Domesday," as 
from Hants ; and it is several times repeated in the 
" Liber Nigre." 

Ralph de Travers, 1165, held the See of Worcester. 

Bertram and Pagan de Travers were of Evesham 
Abbey, and Robert de Travers of Henry Lupel, in 
Somersetshire. 

Hugh de Travers was of Lincoln, and Warin de 
Travers of York, 11 89-1 190. 

Walter de Travers paid a fine in Buckinghamshire in 

11 97- (Hunter's Fines.)

AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 7 

The name of Roger de Travers occurs in Bucking- 
hamshire and in Bedfordshire, in 1202. 

(Rot. Cancellarii.) 

In Yorkshire the family was clearly of considerable 
importance. 

When Robert de Lacy was expelled the realm, the 
Honour of Pontefract was bestowed by Henry I, on 
" Henry Traverse, who being shortly mortally wounded 
by one Pain, a Servant of his own, caused himself to 
be shorn a Monk, and so died within three days." 

(Dugdale.) 

Two of the name, John and Laurence, were pardoned 
as adherents of the Earl of Lancaster in 13 18. 

John was twice Commissioner of Array of the Hon- 
our of Pontefract, and superintended the equipment of 
the levies in 13 16 and 1323. 

Laurence, in the latter year, was one of the Sub- 
custodes of the peace in the Wapentake of Aimun- 
derness, and a burgess returned for Preston in 1727. 

(Palgrave's Parliamentary Writs.) 

Dalton-Travers, about half a mile south of Newsham, 
in the North Riding, " traxit appellationem suam a 
familia de Travers, ejus olim per plures annos domini, 
licet eorum jam memoria diu obsoleverit." 

(Gale's Richmondshire.) 

Robert, son of Robert, son of Warin de Travers 
(probably the Warin of the Pipe Roll of 1189), gave 
some land in Dalton to Marrick Priory. 

(Mon. Ebor., 270.) 

Another of the family, Thomas Travers, was one of 
the Conservators of the Peace for Lancashire in 1320. 



8 HENRY TRAVERS 



Travers of Hampshire. 



The earliest record of Travers in England is found 
in " Domesday" Book i, F. 52 b. : — 

" Terra Willielmi filij Stur — hi Bovecome Hund., 
Hantescire. Isdem Willielmus tenet dimidiam hidam 
in Bgrafel, et Travers tenet de Willielmo. Hanc tenuit 
Viuiet in par agio. Tunc et modo se defendit pro dimidia 
hida. Terra est I carucota ; et ibi est in dominio cum 
uno bordario, et una acra prati, et dimidia. Valet 10 
so/idos." 

It does not appear that the early settler remained long 
in Hampshire ; probably he went north, and obtaining 
land in Lancashire, founded the family of Travers of 
Notsby. During the reigns of Henry III — Edw. II, 
we do not meet with the name in this county. From 
43-50 Edw. Ill, one Richard Travers was Rector of 
Blendeworthe, Hants ; but his brother Thomas Travers, 
Knt., lived in Kent or Middlesex, and owned the 
Manors of " Roughull " and " Halghle," together with 
lands at Ditton and East Mailing.

The immigrants in the preceding list came to Agawsim 
[Ipswich], and staid there one year. Those against whose 
names appears an obelisk [f], went the next year, 1635, to 
Quascacunquen, now Newbury. 

In the records of the First Parish of Newbury is this 
entry: — "Granted to Henry Travers 6 Acres of Salt 
Marsh, be it more or less, in the Great Marsh, being 
bounded by William Moody on the west, and the Com- 
mon on the east, north and south." He was also 
granted a house lot of half an acre near the First Land- 
ing Place, bounded by John Cheney south, highway 
north, The Green west and Merrimack east. Also 4 
acres bounded by John Emery on the south and by 
Anthony Emery north, Jo Moulton west and the Merri- 
mack Street east. The Merrimack Street was evidently 
changed, as litigation followed, and Henry Travers was 
granted an extension eastward. He also exchanged 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 2 1 

his house lot at the old town, on Little Hill, for four 
acres at the new town, on South Merrimack Street. 
No record has been found giving the date of his mar- 
riage to Bridgett, whose maiden name was Fitts, and 
who was probably a sister of Robert Fitts, who was in 
Salisbury in 1640, and removed to Ipswich, where he 
died in 1665, leaving a widow, Grace, and two or more 
children. Neither has any evidence been found that 
Henry had a wife previous to his marriage to Bridgett ; 
yet he may have had a wife in England before coming 
to America in 1634. Some writer has said that Bridgett 
was his second wife. 

He came to Newbury, as clearly appears, in 1635, 
and the record shows the birth of a daughter, Sarah, in 
1636, who married Aug. 30, 1654, Nicholas Wallington. 
The birth of a son James is also recorded as of April 28, 
1645. It also appears that Henry Travers went to sea, 
and to London in 1648, and never came back, leaving 
here his wife Bridgett, a daughter Sarah, and a son 
James. He left a will behind, as follows : — 

This 26th day of July, 1648, I Henrie Travers of Newbury, 
having occasion to go to Sea and know not whether I shall live to 
Com again 3, I do by this present declare my last Will and Testa- 
ment, as followeth.

Eight acres of Salt Marrish and a Copper kittel and on Iron pott

4 yr old and on paire Steere of 2 yr ould.

overseers Consent. 

Likewis I do desier my two ffriends Richard Knights and Henri 
Short to See that this my will be performed.

Richard Knights testified upon oath that this was the act & deed 
of Henry Travers, & William Ilslye upon oath testified that he was 
calld to be a Witness to such a disposall of his estate & believes it 
to be his hand. 

The will is apparently in the handwriting of Henrie 
Travers, and has never been recorded, but simply filed. 
The inventory of his estate in detail follows, viz. :

There appears upon the record the following petition 
of Bridgett Travers, widow of Henry Travers, late of 
Newbury, deceased, 1655 : — 

To the Honored Court assembled at Ipswich, the humble petition 
of Bridgett Travers of Newbury, humbly sheweth. 

That whereas Henry Travers, my husband, went away to Eng- 
land from mee seaven years agone, and left mee two children ; my 
Daughter was of the age of ten years, and my son not full three 
years of age. He then made his will and gave my daughter a Cow 
and a Heifer, to be paid to her at twelve years old, and he gave to 
my son also at the same age of twelve years, two Steers and 4 Akers 
of Upland and 8 Akers of Marsh, and all the household stuff we 
had, only he gave me a bed and a Coverlet which was very meane, 
and also I and my children was very mean in apparell, and this was 
the whole estate of my husband. I had not so much as an house 
to dwell in, and left me also five pounds in debt. And since he 
went I have not heard of him but once, which is five years since. 

The honored Court may be pleased to understand that since my 
husband went away I have paid the five pounds and laid out about 
twenty more for building — and breaking up the land, and also my 
daughter being now marryed I have payed to her two heifers. Now 
my humble petition to this hon'ble Court is that they would bee 
pleased to consider this my Condition, that I may enjoy my house 
and land till my son shall be of the age of one and twenty years, 
and after to have the thirds during my natural life, and so I shall 
ever pray for your happyness and shall rest 

Your poore supply ant 

Bridgett Travers. 



24 HENRY TRAVERS 

Bridgett, the widow of Henry Travers, married 
Richard Window, of Gloucester, Mass., Mar. 30, 1659, 
and this took the family to Gloucester. His will was 
proved 27—4—1665, "dated the : 2 of may: 1665." 
The estate of Bridgett Window was in probate Nov. 
9, 1673, and administration was granted to Nicholas 
Wallington and James Travis, Nov. 26, 1675. Inven- 
tory £2 6: 1:1. The deposition of Samuel Worcester 
and Elizabeth, his wife, about the estate of widow 
Window, mentions her son-in-law Nicholas Walling- 
ton, her grand-child Sarah Wallington, and her son 
James Travis. " Taken upon oath the 25th, of Nov., 
before Nathaniel Saltonstall, Commissioner." 

In Vol. IV, part 2, of Massachusetts Bay Records, 
1666, 23 May, there appears the following: — 

In answer to the petition of Bridgett Window and her sonne 
James Travis, the Court having considered the grounds of their 
petitions doe order that the County court for Essex doe give the 
petitioner and his mother such relief as on a further hearing of 
their complaints may appear just and regular. 

There is also upon the record, page 1 7 1 , as follows : — 

James Travis £30 allowed to him from the estate of his father 
by the will of Richard Window of 1665. We are informed it was in 
the hands of Nich'ls Warrington (Wallington), it being his Portion. 

These documents, here reproduced in part, seem 
to show conclusively that Henry Travers had wife 
Bridgett at least soon after coming to Newbury, even 
if she did not come with him, as the birth of a 
daughter is recorded in 1636, and a son James, "born 
y e 28th of April, 1645." These two children are re- 
ferred to in his will, and are also called her children

by Bridgett, and are the only ones that are named 
by either. 

The will of Richard Window, mentioned above, is 
here given in full, viz : —

the Confidence from Southampton in 1638. He

man in 1670. Later he was a seaman for several

4-3 2 James, born in Newbury "April y e 28th, 1645;" 
married April 8, 1667, Mercy [Marsye] Pearce of 
Gloucester. 



3-4 (II) James Travis (Travers), son of Henry, 
born in Newbury, Mass., " y e 28th. of April 1645," as 
recorded by the Hon. Edward Rawson, afterward Sec- 
retary of State ; married April 8, 1667, Mercy [Marsye] 
Pearce, whose birth is recorded in the records of 
Gloucester, Mass., as " Marsye born fforsthe [first] 
weak in the 7th. mo. 1650." She is supposed to have 
died, a widow, in Holliston, Dec. 11, 1744. She was the 
daughter of John and Elizabeth Pearce of Gloucester, 
who were married Nov. 4, 1643, when he is described 
as a husbandman. 

Her mother, Elizabeth, died July 3, 1673, and John 
married (2nd), Mrs. Jane Stainwood (Stanwood), 
widow of Philip Stanwood who died 7:6: 1672 (Aug. 
7, 1672, O. S.), leaving five children. John Pearce, 
the father of Mercy, died Dec. 15, 1695, leaving the 
daughter and a son John, who died Aug. 18, 1706. 
John Pearce, the father of Mercy, was of Gloucester, 
a freeman in 1651. John, the brother of Mercy, born 
July 14, 1653, married Mary Ratchell, daughter of Rob- 
ert Ratchell and Judith, his wife, of Boston, where 
Mary was born the last of Aug., 1652. 

In 1667 James Travis (as he is written, and the gen- 
erations that follow have generally spelled it "Travis," 
instead of " Travers," as Henry wrote it,) bought land 
of Samuel Peacock of Boston, and the frame of a 
dwelling house near " Poles " (a local name in Glou- 
cester). In 1668, after the birth of their daughter 
Elizabeth, who married Nathaniel Haven of Framing- 



28 HENRY TEA VERS 

ham, he sold his house and land to Thomas Millett, 
senior, and he appears in Gloucester no more, of 
record. 

At that time they removed to Brookfield, Mass., 
and had probably left there before the town was 
destroyed by the Indians in 1676. One account 
says he returned to Essex County, and died there. 
In Barry's History of Framingham, it is said that he 
probably moved to Holliston. Nothing has been found 
upon any record to verify the idea of his return to 
Essex County ; and the fact that his children, and 
probably his widow, remained in and about Framing- 
ham and Holliston, would tend to disprove it. His 
house lot in Brookfield consisted of thirty acres, and 
was located on the easterly side of Foster's hill. He 
had deceased prior to 171 7, as at that time his son-in- 
law, Benjamin Whitney, on behalf of the heirs, applied 
for a grant of land in their father's right, in Brookfield, 
and received sixty acres near Brookfield Saw Mill. 

This application was dated June 17, 17 17, and was 
granted by the committee Nov. 17, 171 7. (Grants 
71,625.) 

The application by the heirs was for the equivalent 
of the original grant, which was considered forfeited, 
and which consisted of fifteen acres of " Meadow" and 
thirty acres of " Upland." The sixty acres granted 
was bounded on all sides by the Commons. The 
grant was conditioned " that the heirs pay all charges 
to the publick, to the town, ministry and meeting- 
house, which have arisen in said town ever since the 
year 1 715, the beginning of said year, and so on from 
time to time forever." Allotment dated the 5th of 
July, in the year of His Majesty's reign, Anno Dom., 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 29 

1 71 7. The Book of the Proprietors of Brookfield lias 
a full description of the land. The mention of the 
year 17 15 in the grant may indicate the year of his 
death, of which no record has been found. 

A deed of all the lands of which James Travis, 
formerly of Brookfield, died seized, and all allotments 
and town right, was recorded, dated June 17, 1717, 
and reads thus : — 

Benjamin Whitney of Sherborn, County of Middlesex, husband- 
man, and Mary my wife, one of the daughters of James Travis 
formerly of Brookfield . That said Benjamin Whitney for him- 
self, and Attorney for James Travis of Sherborn, husbandman, the 
only surviving son of the deceased, and of Nathaniel Haven of 
Framingham and Elizabeth his wife, the only other daughter of said 
deceased, and the said Mary Whitney for herself, and in her own 
right, for the sum of £15 paid to the said Benjamin Whitney by 
Thomas Barnes of Brookfield land and meadow that the de- 
ceased died seized of, in the township of Brookfield. All of the 
land and allotments of land and other town rights of James Travis 
deceased. 

(Signed) Benjamin Whitney and wife Mary 

James Travis 

Nathaniel Haven 

Elizabeth his Wife 

Being the only surviving children of James Travis deceased. 
Aug. 21, 1734, the above named Mary Whitney (but now Mary 
Frink) personally appeared and acknowledged the above. 

If James Travis had gone back from Brookfield to 
Essex County, from whence he came, and died there, 
it hardly seems probable that in this deed of his heirs 
he would have been described simply as " formerly of 
Brookfield." At the date of June 22, 171 7, Benjamin 
Whitney was described as of Sherborn, as well as 
James Travis, his brother-in-law, the son of James 



3° HENRY TRAVERS 

Travis, formerly of Brookfield, while Nathaniel Haven 
is described as of Framingham ; but in a deed to 
Benjamin Whitney May 22, 17 16, and again Mar. 27, 
1717, James, the son of James, is described as of 
Framingham. 

Temple's History of North Brookfield, speaking of 
the laying out of the home lots, says: "The deed ran 
from Shattockquis, consented to by Mettawompe, to 
Ensign Cooper of Springfield, and was dated Nov. 
10, 1665. The home lots must have been distributed 
subsequent to 1667, and probably in 1668, and James 
Travis was given Lot 12. 

" Oct. y e 10, 1673," James Travis signed a petition 
"To The Highly Hon'd. y e Gen'rel Co'rte of the 
Massachusetts " to incorporate the Town of Brook- 
field. 

Of the children of James and Mercy [Marsye] 
(Pearce) Travis, the first child, Elizabeth, afterward 
Mrs. Haven, was born in Gloucester on 8th, 12th, 
(Feb. 8,) 1667, Old Style; during that year they re- 
moved to Brookfield, and there they were living at or 
about the time of the massacre, so that it is probable 
that all of their other children were born in Brookfield ; 
but no record of their births has been found, thouo-h 
much search has been made. The petition for land 
shows and identifies his only surviving children, and 
indicates that no probate was ever had upon his es- 
tate, and this is corroborated by the joint deed of 
his heirs. 

James Travis took part in King Philip's war, and on 
Feb. 22, 1675-6, as appears in the Mass. Archives, 
Vol. II, page 158, he was in a detachment of eighteen 
men under command of Ensign Tymberleggs (Timber 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 3 r 

lake), which detachment was consolidated with another 
company of forty-six men, the whole being under the 
command of Capt. William Turner. The record says 
they " cleared " at Marlborough, for the relief of 
Ouabogue (Brookfield). A list of men identical 
with the names of the detachment of eighteen men, 
has the name of Edward Crick (Creek) in place of 
Henry Tymberleggs (Timberlake), and the record 
says " as they came from Marlborough Feb. 29, 
1675-6." 

The combined commands of Capt. Moseley, Capt. 
William Turner and Capt. Whitpoll, with three hun- 
dred men, were under the chief command of Maj. 
Savage. A large part of Capt. Turner's original com- 
pany, after arrival at Ouabogue, marched home to 
Boston April 7, 1676. Capt. Turner gathered his re- 
maining men — with volunteers, having a total force of 
one hundred and fifty — and took post at Hatfield. 
He marched from Hatfield to the Falls (Turner's), 
twenty miles through the woods, past the ruins of 
Deerfield, to a point just south of Mt. Adams, and 
defeated the Indians, taking them by surprise. He 
set out to return to Hatfield, and was attacked by a 
large party of Indians ; during the conflict, Capt. Tur- 
ner and thirty-six of his men were killed, and two small 
detachments of his force were captured. 

No trace of James Travis is found after his march to 
Quabogue (Brookfield), until in the records of Onon- 
daga County, N. Y., of which the present County of 
Oswego was formerly a part, the following entry is 
found: — "Oswego: James Travis was captured by 
the Indians in 1676, and held two years." Mass.

Children : 

5 1 Elizabeth, born in Gloucester Feb. 8, 1667-8 ; mar- 
ried Nathaniel Haven, born in Lynn June 30, 1664, 
son of Richard Haven and Susannah his wife, and 
was the eleventh out of a family of twelve children. 
Richard Haven made a will May 21, 1703, which 
was proved June 14, 1703. His wife Susannah 
had died in Lynn Feb. 7, 1682. Richard came 
from the West of England in 1644. Nathaniel 
came to Framingham as early as 1690 with his 
brother John ; he died July 20, 1746. One 
account says he married (2nd) Dec. 7, 1741, and 
had other children, which seems hardly probable, 
as he was then seventy-seven years of age. 

Children, all recorded in Framingham : 

1 Martha Haven, born April 7, 1690 ; married May 7, 

17 1 1, Samuel Wesson. 

2 Moses Haven, born Mar. 1, 1692.

6 2 Mercy [Mary], born probably in Brookfield ; married 
Oct. 24, 1 701, Benjamin Whitney of Framingham, 
later of Sherborn, born Jan. 6, 1678-9. He 
died, and his will was probated Sept. 25, 17 18 ; 
the inventory was filed "y e 2i Oct. 1718;" the 
amount of his estate being ,£712:3:4. He 
was designated by the prefix " Cornet," the offi- 
cer of lowest commissioned grade in the cavalry, 
to whose charge the flag was confided ; a rank 
equivalent to " Ensign " in the infantry. He 
gave all his movables, house and land, to his wife. 
In 1712 he resided in Sherborn, and petitioned 
Governor Dudley for leave to form a cavalry 
company. He left no children. He was the 
eleventh child of Jonathan Whitney, born in 
England in 1634, and Lydia Jones of Water- 
town, whom he married Oct. 30, 1656, daughter 
of Lewis Jones. Jonathan was admitted an in- 
habitant of Sherborn in 1679, and died there in 
1702, living near Chestnut Brook. An agree- 
ment of his heirs is dated Charlestown, Jan. 21, 
1 7 14. The widow Mercy's bill is as follows, viz. : 
Funeral £6 : 18:0; Gloves £6 : 14:0; Wine 
£$ : 15 ; Doctor £1 : 10: o; Grave Stones 
,£1:15:0; Paid Anne Fisher of Wrentham, 
£1:6:0; Pd same Fisher £2 : 3:6. Present 
in Court, Jan. 2, 1721, Lieut. Frink and his wife 
Mercy, the widow of " Cornet " Benjamin Whit- 
ney, deceased. 

Benjamin gave most of his land to James Whitney of 
Sherborn. 

Lieut. Thomas Frink did not survive his wife Mercy, 
as his estate was in probate Aug. 11, 1739 ; inventory, 
^1288: 19:6, presented by his son, Rev. Thomas 



34 HENRY IRA VERS 

Frink, as executor, under date of May 6, 1 740. It 
says : " Due to Mrs. Mary Frink, widow of Thomas 
Frink, late of Sudbury, deceased, as appears by an 
agreement between them before their marriage, the 
sum of ^472 : 3 : 4." By his will he further gave to 
his wife " my house that I bought of Benjamin Allen, 
eighteen acres of land and a barn." He also speaks 
in his will of his son-in-law Abraham Briant, and his 
daughter Sarah Briant. 

8-7 3 James, born probably in Brookficld, Mass. ; married 
1698-99, Mercy Leland of Sherborn. She died 
between Aug. 16, 17 10 and 17 16. He married 
(2nd) Nov. 18, 1745, Elizabeth Wesson. 



Tradition. 



There is a tradition handed down, that one of the 
pioneers of the family, from whom Elijah, who died 
in Weston in 1824, was directly descended, was cap- 
tured by the Indians, and it is given as having at 
least an element of truth for its foundation, for the 
History of Onondaga County, N. Y., says " James 
Travis was captured by Indians in 1676 and held 
two years." 

The tradition runs thus : The family at this time 
lived in or near Barre, Mass., which was then on the 
frontier. The few families who lived in the neigh- 
borhood were kept constantly on the watch to guard 
against the Indians. The men, as a precautionary 
measure, carried their guns slung upon their backs, 
when laboring in the field. One day while James was 
at work with two other men, they were surrounded, 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 35 

surprised and captured by Indians, and he was hurried 
off at a tremendous pace. The Indians forced him 
to travel as rapidly as possible for about forty miles, 
till they were safe from all pursuit, when, after going 
a short distance further, they came to their camp. For 
some unknown reason, instead of burning him at the 
stake, as it was customary to do with captives, his life 
was spared. 

Soon afterward his life was again in danger ; a 
chieftain's daughter who was to be married, wished a 
human sacrifice, and all the prisoners were brought 
out for inspection, he among the number. There were 
nineteen in all, and they passed before this chieftain's 
daughter, who selected the one who was to be sacri- 
ficed. During this ordeal this captive was extremely 
nervous, and when he came to pass before her he 
trembled for his life. Fortunately for him, the one 
chosen was an Englishman only about nineteen years 
old. Such a scream as he gave, when she laid her 
hand upon his shoulder, this ancestor said he had never 
heard before. 

The Indians seemed to take quite a liking to this 
prisoner and his life was spared, although he was care- 
fully watched. He was naturally gifted with great 
strength and endurance, and was also an excellent shot. 
He hunted, raced, and fired at a mark with his cap- 
tors, being very careful never to excel in any of their 
sports, although able to do so. After living with them 
about a year they wished him to take a squaw and 
settle among them, to all of which he gave a quick 
consent. A wigwam was built for him, a belt of wam- 
pum was given him, and a grand jubilee was prepared, 
but the night before, seeing what he thought to be a 



3 6 HENRY TRAVERS 

favorable opportunity to escape, he started, but was 
caught the next forenoon and brought back to camp 
and sentenced to death. At night he was bound with 
withes and placed in a wigwam between two guards. 
The guards slept, one on each side. In the early 
evening he succeeded in freeing one hand and one 
foot, but before he was able to do more, one of the 
guards awoke and got up for a smoke ; the captive 
all this time was, apparently, asleep. The guard at- 
tempted to taunt him by asking him how he would 
like fire for breakfast ; he was too sound asleep to 
hear. By and by the guard laid down and went to 
sleep, when, after much painful labor he succeeded in 
freeing himself and getting outside the wigwam. It 
was snowing lightly and there was a little snow on 
the ground. He fastened his moccasins on, hind-side 
before, and started. He had gone but a short dis- 
tance when he came to a spot where a squaw and 
her pappooses were sleeping under a blanket spread 
on some bushes ; he took the blanket and spread it 
on one of the horses fastened near-by and rode hard 
all night. 

At daylight he dismounted and set the horse on a 
canter, retraced some of the ground he had traveled, 
and then climbed up into the top of an immense 
pine tree, where he was entirely concealed by the 
branches, and there he spent the day. While there 
the Indians passed beneath several times, and he 
heard them tell what they would do with him if they 
caught him. At dark he started and traveled as fast 
as he could, and toward daybreak he crept under 
some logs left by the Indians, and spent the day 
there. While there some of the Indians crossed the 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 37 

pile of logs without looking for him. At night he 
started again, and traveled as far as he was able. 

The next night while walking in a nearly famished 
condition across a bog, he fell into the mud nearly 
up to his neck, and being so weak from fasting, was 
not able to extricate himself for some time, but at 
last by the aid of some bushes he succeeded in climb- 
ing upon a rock. There he found three crawfishes 
which he devoured, and after a rest, started on. It 
was his good fortune, soon after, to find the nest of 
a wild turkey, filled with eggs, he ate as many as he 
wanted and rested. When he again started he took 
the remaining eggs with him. He was now nearly 
at the settlement. As he approached his home his 
children were playing near the house, and seeing him 
coming, ran into the house, saying an Indian was 
coming. The mother was courageous, and thought 
if there was but one she was not afraid, so she went 
to the door to see what he wanted. The children were 
much surprised to see their mother throw her arms 
around his neck and kiss him, but not until soap 
and water had done their work did they recognize 
their father. 

7-8 (III) James Travis, son of James (II) and 
Mercy (Pearce), was probably born in Brookfield, 
between 1668 and 1676. He is said to have come 
to Framingham before its incorporation, June 25, 1700, 
and to have settled at Salem End on the Ebenezer 
Harrington place, and afterward lived on the Joseph 
Bullard place, near Cutler's Mills. 

He was in Framingham evidently as late as the 
early part of 171 7, when, in a deed, he is described as 



38 HENRY TR AVERS 

of Framingham ; but he was also of Sherborn the same 
year, when the papers were filed relating 1 to land in 
Brookfield, and then had no wife, as appears. In 1698 
or 1699 he married Mercy Leland of Sherborn, and 
they had four children. She died between Aug. 16, 
1 7 10, and the year 17 16. The births of their first 
three children are recorded in Framingham ; no record 
has been found there of the birth of John, the fourth 
child. 

In 1734, 1735 and 1736, he signs deeds alone, but 
Nov. 18, 1745, as appears by records of the First 
Church of Hopkinton, he married Elizabeth Wesson 
of Hopkinton. Nov. 1, 1745, he deeded real estate 
to her, lying in New Sherborn, in anticipation of mar- 
riage, it being lot No. 46 in the division lands, and 
drawn by him in 1 7 1 5. She signs deeds later, and is 
referred to as "wife Elizabeth," but in 1760 she signs 
as a widow. 

April 20, 1756, when he must have been full four- 
score years of age, if not more, he was adjudged to 
be incapable of caring for himself, and Mr. Thomas 
Mellen was appointed as his guardian. His estate 
was in probate in 1756. He was there described as 
the son of James and Mary. 

Feb. 12, 1734, he deeds to his son James, Jr., for 
parental affection, land in Framingham, on Sudbury 
River, witnessed by his son Joseph ; and on Dec. 20, 
1735, is recorded his deed to his beloved son Joseph, 
for parental affection, of land in Sherborn. In both 
of these deeds he is described as of Sherborn. 
Children : 

14- 9 1 Joseph, born in Framingham Dec. 3, 1700; married 
Feb. 28, 1726-7, Mehitable Hagar. 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 39 

20-10 2 James, born in Framingham April 12, 1703 ; married 
Feb. 10, 1725, Rebecca Squire. Among the rec- 
ords of the First Church of Holliston is the follow- 
ing entry : " Members of the Congregation who 
died in Holliston or places adjacent, from Dec. 18, 
1753, t0 J an - 3°> J 7S4, James Travis." 
11 3 Mary, born in Framingham Jan. 26, 1705-6. 

25-12 4 John, born probably in Sherborn Aug. 16, 17 10 ; 
died July 29, 1789; married in Holliston Jan. 7, 
1 74 1 -2, Anna or Anne Maxwell. 

By second wife : 
13 5 Elizabeth, born April 16, 1747. 



9-14 (IV) Joseph Travis, son of James (III) and 
Mercy or Mary Leland, was born in Framingham, Dec. 
3rd, 1700; married Feb. 28, 1726-7, Mehitable Hagar 
of Watertown, born May 7, 1704; died in Sherborn 
Dec. 22, 1737, daughter of William and Sarah (Benja- 
min) Hagar of Watertown. At his marriage Joseph 
was described as of Sherborn. Mehitable was admitted 
to full communion in the First Church, Sherborn (Uni- 
tarian), June 6, 1736. Joseph married (2nd), by Israel 
Loring, Mar. 29, 1740, Sarah Dean of Sudbury. She 
was a daughter of Joseph and Rebecca (Allen) Dean 
of Sudbury, as appears by Middlesex Probate, Jan. 5, 
1722, where, in the will of Joseph Dean, are mentioned 
sons Pelatiah and Daniel, and daughters Mary and 
" Sary," each daughter receiving thirty pounds. Mary 
Dean of Sudbury, by her will Jan. 9, 1767, gave "To 
my beloved sister Sarah Travis two pounds, and to the 
Town of Sudbury all my real and personal estate on 
the east side of the river." 



4o HENRY TRAVERS 

At the hearing April 5, 1768, Daniel Travis, son of 
deceased's only sister Sarah, objected to the probate of 
the will. It was passed and approved April 28, 1768. 
Sept. 2, 1768, Joseph Travis of Natick, and wife Sarah 
(Dean), appealed to the Governor and Council to 
break the will. Witnesses, Daniel Travis, Amos Morse, 
Samuel Morse, Samuel Morse, Jr., and John Cooledge. 
Inventory, May 21, 1768, ^132: 13:6. The record 
shows that in 1751 he joins in sale of land in Sudbury 
and Weston, and is then described as of Natick. The 
land belonged to the estate of his wife's father, Joseph 
Dean , and her brother Pelatiah Dean and sister Mary, 
spinster, join in the deed. Consideration, ^302. It 
is also recorded, under date of Oct. 5, 1772 (Lib. 7^, 
p. 35), that he deeds his homestead to his son Daniel, 
reserving life-lease, and both were then described as of 
Natick. The old archives of the Supreme Court show 
that judgment was obtained against him for ^12, Feb. 
4, 1767, by Benjamin Pemberton of Roxbury, and he 
was then of Natick. It appears by the town records of 
Natick that he was a constable there in 1762, 1771, 
1772, 1777 and 1780. He was a corporal on David 
Morse's muster roll, Buckminster's Reg't, in 1755, and 
his son Asa was a private in the same company. 

Vol. XCV, p. 323, Mass. Archives, April 19, 1757, 
shows among the soldiers of Natick, Capt. John Cool- 
edge's company, both Joseph and his son Asa as pri- 
vates. He was also in the Quartermaster's department 
at Fishkill, Oct. 14 ; grade, " Plane maker." 
Children : 

15 1 Sarah, born April 21, 1728 ; married Sept. 12, 1750, 
in and of Framingham, Daniel B. Ilagar of Weston 
(published in Weston May 2, 1750), and settled 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 41 

in Lincoln, where he died May 13, 1775 ; he was 
baptized Oct. 23, 1726, and was the eighth child 
of William and Mary (Flagg) Hagar of Waltham 
and Weston. 
Child : 

1 Sarah Hagar, born in Weston May 29, 1752. 

35-16 2 Asa, born in Sherborn May 28, 1729; married in 
1753, Sarah Dunton of Natick, Mass. 

17 3 Zerviah, born July 10, 1733; baptized July 15, 1733, 

in Natick, as of Sherborn. 

By wife Sarah :

Sept. 11, 1766, Samuel Watkins of Hopkinton. 
47-19 5 Daniel, born in Natick Oct. 13, 1742 ; baptized in 
Natick Oct. 17, 1742 ; married Sept. 1, 1766, 
Thankful Watkins. 



10-20 (IV) James Travis, son of James (HI), born 
in Framingham April 12, 1703; married by the Rev. 
Daniel Baker, Feb. 10, 1725, Rebecca Squire of Sher- 
born, and the marriage is recorded in South Framingham 
and Sherborn. He is then described as of Framing- 
ham. Rebecca died a widow, Dec. 8, 1757, and John 
Wesson, her son-in-law, was appointed administrator 
Mar. 27, 1758. She was of Sherborn, and was daugh- 
ter of and Rebecca Squire, and granddaughter of 

John and Sarah Squire of Cambridge, who left widow 
Sarah the use of his whole estate during her life ; then 
to his son Samuel, a double portion of all his estate ; 
to his grandson John Squire, all the land and buildings 
where his mother Rebecca then lived, if he lived to

become of age, only that he must pay to his sister 
" Rebeckah " Squire ten pounds, to his sister Sarah 
ten pounds, to Daniel Squire five pounds, and to his 
uncles Samuel and Daniel Squire five pounds each. 

The estate of James Travis was in probate Feb. 1 1 , 
1754, Middlesex County, and the record says : " Est. of 
James Travis of Holliston, wife Rebecca, child Mercy, 
wife of Robert Maxwell." Middlesex Probate also says 
" division of Estate of Daniel Travis of Holliston, set 
off to John Wesson and wife Thankful, real estate 
£y8 : 2 : 8, including twenty-seven pounds, nine shil- 
lings and four pence, before set off to the widow Mercy 
Maxwell, sister of deceased." There also appears in 
Middlesex Probate the following petition : — 

Holliston Dec. 23, 1757. 

Hon Sir. These may inform you that according to the best 
information we have had the only surviving male heir to the estate 
of the late James Travis, late of Holliston is yet living, he being 
taken at Fort Win. Henry, and one of his neighbors, that was taken 
with him is since returned and left him at Quebeck, and we have 
since heard of his arrival at Halifax, and we expect that he will 
return home in a short time. The widow, his mother, Administra- 
trix on said estate, has lately deceased and it is expected that 
application will be made to y r Honor for a letter of administration 
on said estate. These are therefore to entreat the delay till more 
certainty may be obtained. This with all submission from your 
humble servants.

AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 43 

It appears by the records that both James Travis and 
Daniel, his brother, the only sons of James, the son of 
James, were captured at Fort Wm. Henry Aug. 9, 1757, 
and that later the estate of Daniel was distributed ; 
neither son had married, so that at date of the above 
petition it was supposed by many that there only 
remained of the children of James the daughter Mercy, 
who had married Robert Maxwell, and the daughter 
Thankful, who had married John Wesson. Rebecca, a 
widow, conveyed real estate in Holliston Feb. 27, 1748. 
Children : 

21 1 Mary [Mausy, Marsey, Mercy], born Oct. 26, 1729 ; 

married Robert Maxwell, who died prior to 1754, 
as appears by probate records. He was a son of 
Alexander and Elizabeth Maxwell of Sherborn. 

22 2 James, born Feb. 29, 173 1-2 ; captured at Fort Will- 

iam Henry Aug. 9, 1757. 

23 3 Daniel, born June 17, 1734; captured by Indians at 

Fort William Henry Aug. 9, 1757, but ran to the 
French. His estate was in probate Dec. 10, 1759, 
John Wesson, administrator, but evidently his fam- 
ily had evidence of his death prior to Dec. 23, 
1757, the date of the foregoing petition. {Vide 
Mass. Archives, Vol. LXXVII, p. 649-681.) He 
was under Capt. John Carver. 

24 4 Thankful, born July 15, 1737 ; married John Wesson. 



12-25 (IV) John Travis, son of James (III), 
born Aug. 16, 1710; died in Holliston July 23, 1789; 
married in Holliston Jan. 7, 1741-2, Anna or Anne 
Maxwell, who owned the covenant at the First Church, 
Holliston, Mar. 7, 1756. She was born Jan. 14, 1724-5, 
daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth Maxwell of Sher- 



44 HENRY TRAVERS 

born. Their children were all baptized in Holliston. 
She died in Medway, Dec. 4, 1773. 
Children : 

26 1 Submit, born Mar. 14, 1742-3 ; died Dec. 23, 1745. 

She is recorded as the child of John and Anna. 
Record is also in South Framingham. 

27 2 Isaac, born April 27, 1746; baptized May 12, 1746; 

died May 12, 1746. 

28 3 John, born Sept. 15, 1747 ; baptized Sept. 20, 1747 ; 

married Jan. 3, 1771, Rebecca Tammerlin. Jan. 
9, 1786, as of Holliston, he conveys land in Hollis- 
ton, wife Rebecca consenting. 

29 4 Mary, born Oct. 1, 1749; baptized Oct. 8, 1749; 

died July 20, 1751. 

30 5 Mercy, born Nov. 23, 175 1 ; baptized Dec. 3, 175 1. 

31 6 Sarah, born Sept. 27, 1753; baptized Nov. 4, 1753. 

32 7 Comfort, baptized May 9, 1756. 

33 8 Molly, born May 2, 1762 ; baptized May 2, 1762. 

34 9 Elizabeth, born July 19, 1765 ; baptized 1765; mar- 

ried Ebenezer Tufts, of Roxbury, N. H. 



16-35 (V) Asa Travis, son of Joseph (IV), born 
in Sherborn May 28, 1729 ; died in Deering, N. H., in 
1806 ; married in 1753, Sarah Dunton, of Natick, Mass. 
She was born in Natick " Dec. y e 26, 1730," and was 
the daughter of Thomas and Deborah Dunton, of Na- 
tick. Her father's estate was in probate in Middlesex 
County June 20, 1 j^l^ value of ^627 14:3, with Eben- 
ezer Felch as administrator, leaving widow Deborah 
and children Deborah, Isaac, Johanna and Sarah, none 
of whom were of age at that time; and July 4, 1737, 
John Goodnow was appointed guardian of them all. 
At the distribution of the estate each daughter was 
given five and one-half acres and thirty-two rods of 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 45 

land, the son eleven and one-quarter acres, and the 
widow one-third of all the real estate for her dower. 
The appraisal of the realty was ^500, and of the per- 
sonal ^127 14:3. 

Four years after the death of Thomas, his widow, 
Deborah, became demented, and Dec. 14, 1741, Eleazer 
Kingsbury was appointed her guardian, upon the peti- 
tion of the selectmen of Natick, two of whom appear to 
have been Indians, and made their mark of bow and 
arrow, etc., and two other inhabitants of Natick, as she 
had been found wandering about that part of the county 
demented. Mr. Robert Cook became bondsman. June 
3rd, 1745, Amos Fuller was appointed guardian of 
Deborah Dunton of Natick, non compos. She died, 
and Jan. 4, 1774, her son Isaac was appointed adminis- 
trator of her estate. 

Deborah Dunton, the wife and widow of Thomas 
Dunton, and mother of Sarah (Dunton) Travis, was 
daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Alden. At his de- 
cease, in 1729, he was of Needham, but he was in Bil- 
lerica before 1685, where he had a wife Deborah, 
and where is recorded the birth of a child " Allice," 
1694: 1: 17. His son, John Alden, was appointed 
administrator of his estate, as of Needham, Mar. 2nd, 
1729. 

The inventory was ^576 113. In the settlement of 
the estate are mentioned sons John and William, and 
daughters Deborah Dunton and Susannah Alden, and 
Elizabeth, the mother and relict of deceased. Settle- 
ment dated April 12, 173 1. It is claimed that this 
Henry Alden is descended from John and Priscilla of 
Plymouth fame, but the claim has not been entered 
upon in this inquiry. 



46 HENRY TRAVERS 

Asa Travis and Sarah Dunton seem to have resided 
in Natick at marriage, and there is recorded the birth 
of their son Asa, Jr., Mar. 8th, 1754, whom we take to 
have been their first child, but no record of the births 
of their other children has been found. It seems alto- 
gether probable, however, that all of their children were 
born in Natick, then a Plantation, where nearly all 
the offices seem to have been filled by Indians, and 
probably many of them could not read or write, as in 
the instance quoted, where they made their marks. 
They had nine children who lived to mature age, but a 
child, aged thirteen months, died June 21, 1768, and a 
daughter Anna, aged ten years, died Sept. 15, 1775, as 
recorded in First Parish, Wayland. 

He had a sister Zerviah, who came to visit or live 
with him in 1765, and was warned from Natick, as was 
the custom in those days with strangers, lest they be- 
come paupers. This notice shows that Asa was living 
in Natick in 1765, and gives the probability that his 
children were all born there. 

No more is known of their residence until he appears 
among the soldiers of the Revolutionary army, with 
some of his children, from East Sudbury. He re- 
sponded to the Lexington Alarm, and his sons Asa, 
Elijah, Oliver, Aaron and William, were in the ranks 
from Sudbury. He was a taxpayer in Sudbury in 1779 
and 1780. He was a member of a large committee of 
East Sudbury in 1781, "to see what number of school- 
houses should be tho't necessary." 

In the year 1783 he seems to have taken up his bed 
and departed from East Sudbury, leaving no trace, of 
record, behind him, but he appears at once at Deering, 
N. H., and his sons Asa, Aaron, Oliver, Luther and 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 47 

William, are shortly with him, if not with him at first. 
His son Elijah does not seem to have gone with his 
father, as we find him settled at Waltham, Mass., where 
he married, and where nine of his ten children were 
born, the tenth having- been born after their removal to 
Weston, Mass., from Waltham. Oliver married Dec. 
11, 1783, at Waltham, Milly Gooding of Waltham, and 
his name appears upon the tax lists of Deering for the 
years 1794 to 1801 inclusive. Joel, another son of 
Asa, appears to have remained in or near East Sud- 
bury, now Wayland. 

Asa had a daughter Mehitable, who married July 10, 
1783, Thomas or Thaddeus Gooding of Waltham. She 
was then described as of East Sudbury. They went 
to New Hampshire and settled in Mt. Vernon, where 
they were known as " Goodwin," and had several chil- 
dren, but the family seems to be extinct. Asa also 
had a daughter Abigail, who went to Deering with her 
parents, and there married Stephen Brown. 

The names of Asa and Asa, Jr., continue upon the 
tax lists of Deering from 1783 to 1806, when Asa, Sr., 
died, aged 77 years. Asa, Jr., continues on tax list, 
appearing for the last time in 18 13, when he removed 
to Newport, N. H. Asa, the elder, was taxed in East 
Sudbury in 1779 upon ^208. No record has been 
found of the probate of his estate. His sons Aaron 
and Luther died in Deering, and William died in Hills- 
borough. Aaron left quite a family, now represented 
by several generations. Asa, Jr., died in Newport in 
1825. Asa, the elder, was a private in 1755, as appears 
by Capt. David Morse's muster roll, Buckminster's 
Reg't, and his father Joseph was a corporal in the same 
company. 



48 HENRY TEA VERS 

Vol. XCV, p. 323, Mass. Archives, April 19, 1757, 
shows among the soldiers of Natick, Capt. John Cool- 
edge's company, both Joseph and his son Asa as 
privates. 

Vol. XIII, p. 94, Mass. Archives, shows that he 
marched to Lexington from Sudbury, April 19, 1775, 
in Joseph Smith's company, Barrett's Reg't, upon the 
Lexington Alarm. 

Vol. XVI, p. 14, Mass. Archives, shows that he 
enlisted April 26, 1775, and served three months. 
Roll dated Aug. 1, 1775, Capt. Russell's company, 
Col. J. Brewer's Reg't. He received an order for a 
" bounty coat," or its equivalent in money, due for 
eight months' service in 1775, Capt. Thaddeus Rus- 
sell's company, Col. J. Brewer's Reg't ; vide Mass. Ar- 
chives, Vol. LVII, File 4. He also enlisted Jan. 1, 
1776, service 10 mos. 26 days, as private in David 
Whitney's company, Col. Asa Whitcomb's Reg't, en- 
campment at Ticonderoga, Nov. 27, 1776. 

He again enlisted Oct. 12, 1778; discharged Dec. 
31, 1778, Edwin Longley's company, Col. Coggs- 
well's Reg't ; time of service, 2 mos., 2 days, for the 
purpose of guarding and fortifying posts in and near 
Boston. 

He enlisted finally July 28, 1780; discharged July 
31, 1780, Rhode Island Alarm, Joshua Fisk's company, 
Col. Abner's Perry's Reg't, by order of Council, July 22, 
1780; Roll dated Dec. 12, 1780. 

He conveyed land in East Sudbury, April 6, 1781, 
consisting of 2 1 acres, to Ichabod Smith, wife Sarah 
releasing dower. Witnessed by two of their sons, 
Asa, Jr., and Oliver. He was then described as of 
Sudbury. 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 49 

Sept. 26, 1 78 1, he bought land in Deering, N. H., of 
Ichabod Smith, consisting of Lot 18, as appears upon 
the small plan, and upon that lot he is understood to 
have settled when he went to Deering, the date giving 
about the time of his removal. This lot of land he sold 
to Isaac Smith of Deering, April 14, 1790. He paid 
for this land 500 Spanish milled dollars, and it was one- 
half in quantity of that 100-lot which Ichabod Smith
